Online Portfolio Review 2020 Luna Lund Jensen Instagram Art Weekend NLINE ORTFOLIO EVIEW Aarhus O P R 2020 presented by Aarhus Billedkunstcenter / Aarhus Center for Visual Art Luna Lund Jensen Instagram: @lunalundjensen Luna Lund Jensen (b. 1992) lives and works in Aarhus, Denmark and graduated from Jutland Art Academy in 2020. She works with creating fabulations and rethinking already existing narrative structures. Her works explore these narratives in previous works through themes such as human/animal relationships in 2d drawn animated video, application of human or- gans to lab mice in small scale sculpture, turning female demons from Japanese Noh theatre into vengeful protagonists in a filmed opera play, exploring the materiality and mythology of water by pouring water out of simulated antique vases in video, and the act of storytelling itself, through exploring oral storytelling practices in Nordic folk tales as well as text works. Throughout these works, Jensen suggests the use of storytelling as a tool for thinking. Jeg er en kniv i din strube, jeg er sværdet ved din side, jeg er tænderne omkring dig 08.05.–13.05.2020 at Kunsthal Aarhus Multi-screen video and sound installation Link to video: https://vimeo.com/419826169 (password: foxy) In the video work I am a knife in your throat, I am the sword by your side, I am the teeth around you (2020) Luna Lund Jensen’s drawn animations appear in small passages of detached action on an empty, white background. The animations are drawn over found video material and show foxes in- teracting with humans. They are accompanied by a medieval-sounding piece of music with song. The song presents us with a fox’s perspective on a situation that alternates between luring and being lured, between desire and the desire to use violence. In her work with videos and music, Lund Jensen explores folk tales from Asia and Europe about foxes that transform into humans in order to gain power and vitality. As small poetic statements, her song and video stages the human desire to personalize nature. Whether it is about imagining foxes, whose greatest desire is to become human or just the notion that a human can be friends with a fox. Someday, maybe one day in the future a patient will come into the intensive care unit with a serious infection and will be given a treatment to transiently render the patient to be more like a mouse 31.01.-02.02. 2020 at Jutland Art Academy Sculpture, colored gelatin In the work Luna Lund Jensen shows a gelatin cast modeled after the Vacanti mouse, an experiment where scientist Charles Vacanti created and transplanted an artificial human ear under the skin of a lab mouse. The sculpture is made in gelatin, a material originated from bones and skin of a cow or pig and used to thicken foods, pointing back towards the materials of the original Vacanti mouse, the cartilage of the ear and the skin of the mouse. The title refers to a quote from a TED talk by doctor and professor H. Shaw Warren talking about using lab mice as a testing unit for humans. My current grudge is the revenge for your disservice 12.05.-12.06. 2019 at Oraum, RUM9 (www.oraum.dk) Screening of the work in the artist’s backyard 10.05. 2019 Video Link to video: https://vimeo.com/358115111 (password: MCG) In the work Luna Lund Jensen stages an opera play based on characters and narratives from the stylized Japanese theatre form Noh. The play centers around three characters and two singing voices. Each character wears a ceramic mask providing the actor with a significant archetype; the virtuous woman, the demonic woman and the righteous man. Two of the actors play the same person, separated into two masks, but who’s voice is the same. The actors play out their characters’ actions and lines through opera while placed in a modern, domestic scene.

    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

Basically, the purpose of the intrface project is to develop and cultivate partnerships between secondary schools and local museums with a view to producing educational coursework for students enrolled at these schools. In Denmark, almost every secondary school has a mu- seum right around the corner. Often teachers are not very familiar with them and do not make use of them as a learning resource in their lessons. When museums are included in lesson plans, the ones chosen are usu- ally large, famous museums in the capital city or abroad. Like their teachers, students often know very little about the learn- ing potential of local museums, or of museums, period. Their Kick-off conference at the Museum of Aarhus, Sept. 8. 2008 cultural heritage as presented in the local museums often remains an unexplored source of knowledge and good experiences. The overall ambition of the intrface project is to do something about that. What is intrface? The intrface project evolved out of several smaller, shorter projects, the purpose of which was to develop collaboration between a number of museums and secondary schools as well as with the University of Aarhus. Actual planning of the intrface project started in 2007 but the details of how it would be run and the funding needed to put the plans in action were not in place until early 2008. It was launched on September 8, 2008 at the Mu- seum of Aarhus and is to end July 31, 2011.
